Overview[edit]

When the demand for the Cylon production is dramatically changed to just a week, Daniel calls the order to clean the MCP, which will destroy the Zoe avatar in the process and forces her to take drastic actions to escape. Barnabas puts Lacy's allegiance to the STO to a test, as Clarice plans a trip to Gemenon. Amanda is haunted by visions of her brother and the allegations made by Vergis against her husband push her to the brink. Emmanuelle finds Tamara so as to finally take Joseph's quest to an end.

Notes[edit]

  • The phrase "end of line" is used by the Master Control Program (MCP) in the cult film Tron. The acronym later finds use in Caprica when discussing the meta-cognitive processor.
  • End of line is phrase often spoken by Cylon hybrids.
  • "End of line" is also used in various programming languages to signify the end of a line in a program or other computer script.
  • Jesse Haddock is credited as Vergis's driver rather than Darius because this was leftover from the original concept of Amanda's visions of her brother. According to David Eick's podcast for "Ghosts in the Machine", it was planned for it to be part of a hoax perpetrated by Vergis who found a look-alike of her brother to drive Amanda insane. However, it was decided instead to portray it as her mental reaction to Zoe's death and all scenes that were filmed to explain it as a ruse were edited out.
